Crystal Palace and Barnsley played out a goalless draw this afternoon (Friday) as they met in an U23 clash.

The two sides faced each other at Oakwell in a Professional Development League fixture, with the table-topping Eagles looking to continue their fine recent form, which has taken them to the summit of the South division.

Richard Shaw's side did not include any first teamers, but Southampton defender Richard Bakary, who recently started a trial with Palace, was named in the team, while the Eagles also had two trialists on the bench.

But neither side could force a winner in an even contest as the game ended goalless.
